About this role

About Flow

Flow is Harmonic’s next generation AI-native workflow tool; the central operating hub for venture capital, collapsing multiple traditional software categories into one platform for sourcing, researching and triaging investment opportunities.

Flow turns Harmonic into a system of record and context - enabling customers to sync their internal network and business data and combine it with Harmonic’s knowledge graph of tens of millions of companies and hundreds of millions of people, each enriched with 400+ dimensions. This enables context-aware, actionable workflows and insights (agentic and otherwise) - at scale.

While Flow has strong initial traction from users, it is still in its early days - you will be key in releasing and marketing the product widely, and scaling up the user base.

About us

Harmonic is the startup discovery engine.

It pains us to see great startup opportunities consistently go unfunded not because of lack of talent, but lack of signal.

We're fixing that by mapping the entire startup landscape and building the tools that put the right companies in front of the right people at the right time. Investors, corporate development, and GTM teams use us to find breakout companies before they're obvious and turn that discovery into action. Whether that's a check, an acquisition, partnership or won business.

We’re growing revenue at a rate of 100%+ annually, backed by $30M from Craft, Floodgate, and Sozo Ventures. We're committed to ensuring hundreds of billions of dollars find the right founders, so the innovations that matters most flourish. If that resonates, let's talk.

About the Team

This role works directly with our Scout and Discovery teams, bringing our agentic search experience directly to the masses. You'll think about how to create world-class mobile experiences that let our end users unlock insights from our data moat in an entirely new way.

This is a founding iOS engineering role, which means you'll drive a lot of the strategy yourself, working closely with Design and Product to think about how we create cohesion between our web and mobile experiences, while still celebrating what mobile can uniquely bring to our customers.

Who You Are

You have 5+ years building and maintaining user-facing iOS applications with real production usage.

You have clear product and design intuition, demonstrated by a history of creating user-focused iOS experiences with high craft and polish.

You can take ambiguous problems and build real solutions for them, without needing the path laid out for you.

You're customer obsessed. You love building products for customers and are always looking to improve their experience.

You have strong but flexible opinions on what great iOS engineering looks like: opinionated and experienced in modern mobile architecture, patterns, and best practices, but open to having your mind changed.

You're NYC-based and open to being in office 3 days a week.

What You'll Do

Build and ship the iOS app from scratch. Own the end-to-end development of Harmonic's first iOS app, from project setup and architecture to shipping the initial product experience. Turn ideas into polished, production-ready features quickly.

Create exceptional product experiences. Partner directly with Product and Design leads to craft world-class interactive experiences, leaning into AI-native chat UX and setting the quality standard for Harmonic's mobile interactions. Your work will define what "great" feels like in a native iOS app.

Drive technical decisions and mentor future hires. As the founding iOS engineer, set the bar and help shape how mobile operates at Harmonic long-term.

Create scalable abstractions and foundations. Set up testing strategies, CI/CD pipelines, modular architecture, and reusable components and patterns that let a future mobile team move fast without breaking things.
